Released each quarter, the BCCC Quarterly records the most important trends and developments regarding blue carbon policies and regulations in China, the U.S., and other regions, as well as international regimes, such as under the United Nations framework. The ICAS Team will also produce a Chinese language version of this product to disseminate to an Asian audience so that both sides have access to our research.
ICAS Blue Carbon & Climate Change Quarterly (online ISSN 2837-3979, print ISSN 2837-3952)
- Theme of the Quarter -
Despite the quiet evolution of the blue carbon field, there are identifiable trends of interest during any given three month period. Thus, every quarter the ICAS Team identifies and summarizes a major trend or long-term topic of interest relevant to the most recent quarter.
In addition to collections of relevant news summaries, government actions and statements, and scientific research activities, the theme includes an analytical commentary from our researchers on how this theme relates to other present-day developments, policy interests, climate change and environment concerns, and implications for the blue carbon field.
- Blue Carbon Country Profile -
Given that ‘blue carbon’ is a relatively new subject to both scientists and policymakers, it is the ICAS Team’s goal to provide a collective view on how individual nations are recognizing, analyzing, and applying blue carbon at all levels of the government, through cross-border and international engagements, and in private sector and non-profit activities.
This profile is also intended to identify places that are in need of particular attention. The profile concludes with issues that interested parties should pay attention to in the coming months and years, including areas that need improvement, potentials worth exploring as well as possibilities of bilateral and multilateral cooperation in both policymaking and scientific exploration.
